Hallo Emily, ich spiele seit ca 6 Monaten begeistert Querflöte, bin nun schon 63 Jahre, beginne gerade mit der 3. Oktave, habe einen prima Flötenlehrer und habe mit sehr großem Interesse Dein Video verfolgt. Das gab mir einen tiefen Einblick in das anspruchsvolle Flötenspiel .... tausend Dank dafür. Viele Grüße aus der Eifel in Deutschland, Fred
Thank you Emily. I am 82 and back flaying flute again after about 15 years away due to family commitments. This is so good, such easy to understand your tips. I love it.
That’s so wonderful to hear, Robyn!! BRAVO!!🤩 I actually made a whole workbook to get back into shape - you can find it on my website (under SHOP) and you can just pay what you want!! emilybeynon.com/workbook-to-help-you-get-back-into-shape/
Emily Beynon- what a complete, clear, and elegant tutorial on flute articulating! Many of these have been taught to me from my group of amazing teachers in Ohio, during the time Michel Debost was at Oberlin:) But your tutorial is so concise and clear. I will be having my students watch this and adding some of these exercises into their daily studies! Thank you😊
Thank YOU so much for your kind words - I’m glad you found the video useful (for your students) So, you studied with Michel Debost - how marvellous!! I had one lesson with him on Fauré Fantaisie back in 1990 (?) - unforgettable! Such a wonderful man, mind and musician!
@@EmilyBeynonflute Thank you. No, Michel Debost was not my teacher, but did master classes with two of my past teachers. What a treat for us to enjoy his teaching!
@@EmilyBeynonflute C'est moi qui vous remercie, en plus j'ai les " 17 grands exercice de Taffanel et Gaubert, que j'avais travaillé étant jeune. mais c'est loin tout ça... j'ai repris la flûte après un long arrêt (au moins 30 ans)... mais je retrouve un peu la technique. C'est tès appréciable d'avoir votre réponse en Français. Mon Anglais est "verry bad"...
I like that you included the key tapping technique. I learned it as a "G key slap" using the left ring finger instead of any of the right hand fingers, but I think it gives the same result. I figure it works by somehow setting the air column into vibration at the instant of the attack.
My flute teacher showed me your channel and told me that you taught her before. I must say, the teaching techniques and methods between teacher and student are incredibly similar. My teacher's Ms Shirley Tong.
That was amazing! Flutter tonguing helps double tonguing tremendously! I wonder why it isn't widely taught as a means to improve your double tonguing. Thank you so much for passing your knowledge!
I have learnt from some interviews you did that it took you days to make one video.. Thank you so so much for your effort and generosity in sharing your great advices again🙏🙏🙏🙏
Emily - Thank you. My tongue hurts from the double tonguing (something I was not able to do before)! What a work-out. Hahaha! I loved these techniques and I just can't believe the improvement I can see immediately. You make practicing enjoyable.
You’re very welcome - I hope you found it helpful! 🙏

Yes! Thank you very much for making this video - super helpful and very interesting to understand your take on it! Sending you a grateful hug from Brazil! haha
Thank you for this video. I have a peculiar problem where my tongue becomes very tense and rigid as I try to tongue semiquavers at around 90bpm and above. The tongue becomes very stiff and speeds off uncontrollably and I cannot slow it down. Any idea how to address this?
Hi there! Thanks for your question but I’m not sure I can help much… try moving your tongue a bit less perhaps and/or moving the position of consonant contact (‘d’ attack instead of ‘t’) And maybe also try flutter-tonguing to release any buildup of tension. I hope these suggestions help. Good luck!
Thank you Emily. Would you be able to talk a bit more in depth on flutter tongue? Has watched a few videos but still can’t do it comfortably with the tongue method. And I can only use it for the higher notes.
I just started playing again after an 8 year hiatus. My articulation in the upper register is an issue now. I've always used what you call the "grape pit" tonguing technique, but now I'm trying to learn other ways to tongue more accurately without squeaking or breaking notes. Any tips on this? Amazing video by the way!
Hi Hunter - welcome back to the flute world! 👏 I would suggest that you work on finding the right air speed first, before even involving the tongue. So, harmonics (fundamental plus 1st 2 harmonics from both low register and high register - LEGATO!) and then using only “ha!” From the belly - lips still and no tongue involvement. Then gradually add a very little action from the tongue. I hope this helps. Let me know!
I’ll absolutely try this. I’ve gotten the “don’t use your tongue at first” tip before, and I had ever heard of it. Would you mind if I sent you a private video link to get your opinion on my intonation and technique?
It sounds as though you might need to try using your air more. Practice without any tongue and then gradually add as little as possible until you achieve the desired result. Hope this helps! Will you let me know??
Emily Beynon thank you for sharing a series of lovely videos✨✨✨ your tips are helpful and making us more productive 😍😍😍we are grateful to have you on TH-cam 😇😇😇
Hi Kristin, thanks for your question. Well of course if you prefer, you can play the more usual: tkt tkt tkt etc. But to improve tkt ktk, I have two tips: firstly, make sure you practice the “k” alone sometimes (for a whole scale for example: k k k k k…) and then secondly, work on small groups tkt STOP ktk… listen and try and get them sounding the same. Then gradually build up: tkt ktk STOP ktk tkt etc… Let me know how you get on after having worked in these two ways for a few weeks. Good luck!
hi ! i am 15 years old and i am learning the flute, but my double tongue clapping technique isn’t working well, i can hear a lot of air in the sound when it comes out. what can i do to listen the sound of the flute more than the sous of the air ?
Hi Sarah, do lots of double tonguing practice without the flute; just saying/singing DGD..... DGD x 20...... then DGDGD.... DGDGD x 20...., gradually building up. It sounds as though there's too much tongue and not enough air going into the flute. Try also fluttertonguing so that the air is really moving. Let me know how you get on! Good luck!
@@EmilyBeynonflute No I'm not. :) As I first studied Dutilleux Sonatine, I saw exactly what you said, double tounging is more fluent and beneficial at most places. I use it sometimes, for example at the 3/16 passages in Mendelssohn Solo, to point out the polyrhythm. But never too fast passages. :)
Hi K B - thanks for your question. I line up the embouchure hole with the holes in the kesy. Then, about half of the embochure hole should be covered/uncovered with the lips - any more open and the soft end of the dynamic range will be very difficult to control and any more covered and a fuller sounds will be impossible. Let me know how you get on!
@@EmilyBeynonflute Thank-you, so much for your reply. It's really helpful, especially in this current lockdown situation. One thing that I'm always curious about is this cork position of 17.3 and whether it depends from flute to flute. I'm always tempted to turn the crown bit by bit to find that sweet spot where the flute sings.
@@EmilyBeynonflute Hi Emily Thanks for your help on headjoint position. I'm noticing the higher octave is more clear and balanced. You've really made a difference.
